You might be surprised to know that I actually spend quite a bit of time sketching out ideas for pieces. This one started with a google search for 'Art Deco Architecture' as the gold and teal reminded me of several buildings in Mexico City done in this style.  I then sketch out elements that I love before digging into to Photoshop.

The piece was created by photographing a cicada, then selecting sections of the photo to create radial patterns. These patterns and other elements are layered in Photoshop to create the final piece. 

PRINT ONLY: Unframed, unmatted glossy photograph sent in a rigid mailer.

METAL PRINTS: A brilliant, highly detailed image printed directly onto aluminum. These luminescent prints are coated with a scratch resistant surface. These high gloss images "float" 1/2 inch off the wall, and are ready to hang upon delivery.
